Sweetness The Patisserie

For those of you who have only ever eaten marshmallows by Pascall (those packet ones you find in the supermarket), you’ll be blown away by the gourmet marshmallows at Sweetness. I’ve been lucky enough to have tasted them several times, at various food festivals and having received them as a birthday present a few years back. But it was only recently that I visited the store…
So here’s some eye candy!

The store is absolutely gorgeous like a fantasy patisserie.
Mountains of shortbreads, florentines and rocky road glow through glass cloches. Marshmallows of all flavours and colours are neatly packaged and piled into mammoth bowls.

Provencal style tables and bookshelves hold even more delectable morsels.

Treats on offer include pate de fruits, which are divine jellies in scrumptious flavours like raspberry, guava, lychee rose, pear and blood orange.
There are also mini macarons, shortbreads (love the sound of the kaffir lime and pistachio shortbread!), chocolate bars, spiced pecans, English toffee and so much more!

The large open kitchen allows you to watch a team of baking extraordinaires at work. It’s a reminder that everything here is handmade and fresh.

Ever since having freshly made marshmallows, I can’t go back to those store bought ones. I still haven’t been able to try Sweetness’ marshmallows but they look so devine. Wow 30 flavours! That’s impressive!

I used to work in Epping and when Sweetness opened, lunch time was never the same again. I would make a stop at Sweetness after getting lunch – almost everyday..and the waitline expanded with time! haha the stuff there is very good. my all time fav is their English Toffee (I could eat bags of it)!

I Ate My Way Through is an online food & travel concierge - a resource for those who travel with their appetites first.

From our humble roots as one of Australia's longest running food blogs, we started as Jenius.com.au in 2006 and following the demand of our readers for real-world experiences, we began curating food tours and food crawls in 2009.

We're inspired by the provenance of food and the untold culinary stories behind street hawkers, cafes, eateries, bakers, breweries, producers, manufacturers and markets. In turn, we hope to elevate and enrich your eating, cooking and travel adventures so you can squeeze more joy out of every day.

Our specially curated guides and food events directory celebrates the kaleidoscope of cultures surrounding us, making it more accessible than ever to support local and independent businesses.
